Mr. Compton CarrI beg to present a Petition signed by 1,064 persons, many of whom are resident in my constituency, on the subject of unilateral nuclear disarmament.
I do not know whether I am in order, Mr. Speaker, but I wish to say that I have the express authority of the organisers of the Petition to dissociate myself completely from the contents of the Petition. I am presenting the Petition as their Member of Parliament.
2 The Prayer reads:
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that, failing an immediate international agreement outlawing nuclear weapons and providing an adequate system of inspection, we should be the first country possessing these weapons to renounce them unconditionally.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
